ATENTION: Beneficiary,
I am Paul Philips a representative of Prudential Insurance PLC. Actually,
this correspondence is purely private, and it should be treated as such. I
am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached
to this deal for the benefit of both of us. The Management and the Legal/
Treasury Department of this Prudential Insurance in a recent meeting,
recommended that the Insurance Contract of Mr. Robert Finkelstein, who
maintained a Life Insurance Policy, should be declared Dormant and
confiscated hence moving his unclaimed estate to the Treasury.
I came across a very vast sum of money belonging to the above deceased
PolicyHolder (Robert Finkelstein). This man was our client and has a Life
Insurance Policy WORTH the sum of Forty Seven Million Five Hundred
Thousand USD (US$47,500,000.00). Right now, the fund is lying unclaimed in
our custody and there is NO next of kin mentioned in his file and there is
NO HOW we can reach any of his other relatives. All efforts made by us to
establish contacts with any other of his relation has proved abortive and
unsuccessful. His Life Insurance Policy will expire in the next few months
from the date of this letter. Just a few weeks back, we received an
instruction from Ministry of Social Welfare to forward particulars of all
unclaimed benefits that will expire in the next few months.
Upon my personal finding on this matter, I kept this information secret to
myself until now that I am contacting you. In view of the fact that the
deceased customer was a foreigner (from a different country), it is
Officially important for the involvement of a foreigner who will pose as
his next-of-kin. I will use my position in this Company to present you as
his Next of Kin as you can be his relative, friend or Cousin or even his
business associate if you so choose and the left behind estates
(US$47.5Million) will be Safely transferred into your own account in your
country. Please include your telephone/fax number/ Home Address when
replying this e-mail and I will give you more information as soon as you
indicate your willingness to assist in this viable transaction. Please
provide the following:
Full Name:
Full Address:
Home and Direct Cell Telephone Number:
Fax Number:
Company Name:
Company Address:
Position:
Occupation:
Sex:
Marriage Status:
Age:
Next of Kin:
Other Email:
Any of your valid identification either national ID Card or International
Passport:
The transaction will be done successfully and smoothly completed via email
and telephone.
METHOD/MODE OF SHARING:-
A. Total sum with account = USD$47.5 Million
B. Amount to be withdrawn = USD$43.1 Million
C. Myself and my colleague = USD$21.55 Million
D. Account holder (That's you) = USD$21.55 Million
E. Incidential expenses = USD$1.8 Million

I PROMISE that you must be happy and shall rejoice greatly soonest for
cooperation with me in this transaction. After successful conclusion of
this transaction, we shall share the money 50-50 (50% for you and 50% for
me). I await your good response today.

Paul Philips

we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
